globetrotters

yes! i love award season, solely because i get to blog about the red carpet choices made by celebs and their stylists. the 2010 golden globes offered up plenty of blog-worthy material. let's get started. so, i actually liked all the color this year, particularly the purple gowns.

krakowski looks elegant in her one shoulder number, bullock a fashion-forward princess, and i truly love rose byrne's fitted eggplant dress. her vintage-feel accessories balance out the modern dress. good choice in my opinion.

unfortunately, i can't say the same for lindsay lohan. i normally love her, but this dress sucks. i retract, it sucks for the globes. really? the sparkly hoodie dress? with the hoodie up? bank robber chic just doesn't sound right. and the shoes are a less than stellar choice for this ensemble. but there's bigger fish to fry here...ick...i'm sorry, but that's just a hot mess. i mean, i guess it's age appropriate with the semi-bedazzled covered arms, but the choker, chandelier earrings and glasses to boot are fashion overkill. the hair is a disappointment and the makeup flat out gross. i loathe frosted lipstick. but hey, that's just me. sorry sophia. but the award for worst dressed goes to....

...tits mcgee. uh, i mean mariah carey. two words--cover up. i'm sure this joke has been done, but please don't take the golden globes so literal next time. just tasteless. at least you made the umbrella holders night. take a hint from halle berry in the future:

if you wanna show a little somethin', do it tactfully. moving on....

y'all know i heart french chic, so penelope cruz impressed me with her very francais-inspired gown.

emily blunt's neutral flowy gown is decent. maybe consider a different shade of foundation and don't double duty the arm cuffs...looks a tad butch chic (haha, that made me laugh...my overuse of chic i mean)..but other than that, i like it.

looking cute were one of the olsen twins and the high school musical girl:

the short bubble-bottom dresses are cutesy, age-appropriate, well maybe for the second chick, but i do like the blue shade of olsen's dress. i can do without the pilgrim-esque shoes, but she's a stylish girl. and she can pull it off.

to end my unsolicited critiquing is best dressed. i feel like i've put her on my best dressed list every time i write one of these. kate winslet. you rule. time after time, you make the most impressive choices. it doesn't go unnoticed. classic beauty at it's best.

I totally agree on Kate Winslet. She does something different every year! The dress that first caught my eye was the red one she wore back in 2002 to the Academy Awards. It had one strap that was all flowers cascading over the shoulder. Gorgeous! One of my favorite Golden Globes looks of recent history though was Reese Witherspoon's yellow minidress with the red heels. To die for! I can't wait to see what all the stars come up with for Oscar night!
